...young women tell De Laurentiis they had enrolled in culinary school because of her. One young man was so awestruck that he blurted that De Laurentiis should leave her husband for him (which was all the more awkward since the husband in question, 42-year-old clothing designer Todd Thompson, was standing nearby...
...Institutional Master Plan to the City of Boston within the calendar year, outlining its intentions for the next half century.“President Summers’ departure should not disrupt the process in any significant way,” writes Whitehead Professor of Political Philosophy Dennis Thompson, who chaired the 1997 University Physical Planning Committee and later the Allston Life Task Force, in an e-mail. “The basic goals are set, and the planning has a momentum of its own now.”But though the outgoing president may have pushed the first phase...
Finding out about the risk is often tricky. Mechanical engineer Matt McBride and eye doctor Joe Thompson turned into part-time detectives to see what was going on with the pumping system that keeps the "bowl" New Orleans sits in dry. Thompson, 42, went snooping at local Pump Station No. 1, inviting himself in for a tour (so much for security). He soon found that five of the station's seven pumps had been submerged by post-Katrina floodwaters. One, turned on after the waters receded, caught fire. He got a similar report at Pump Station...
...investigating the fires, Thompson and McBride realized that the city was--revise that: is--losing its ability to pump water out.

...years ago the center received a large gift and that made it possible to do this,” he said. “It is a combination of ability and a longstanding desire to support postdoctoral work in this field.” One new fellow, David M. Thompson, received his doctorate in physics from Harvard last year. He plans to work with Assistant Professor of Climate Science Zhiming Kuang. Thompson will use his background in theoretical physics and string theory to explore the relationship between global warming and hurricanes by modeling air currents. “Personally...
